The Photo Company

Anjali Lovekar

The project is a photography studio complex for a young photographer specializing in automobile, product and fashion photography. The premise was earlier a factory complex, which was in an abandoned and dilapidated state for many years. The Factory shed was converted into the studio for the photography due to its expanse and the height available, while the watchman’s cabin and the servants’ quarters were converted into an image processing unit and an office respectively. An unused space of about 7’ between the new office (erstwhile servants’ quarters) and the factory shed was converted into a transition court, which the office looked into. This court, which is secured with a M. S. Pergola above, provides light and ventilation to the office, which has blank walls on 2 sides. An L- shaped wall flanks the court on the front side, providing some enclosure and housing with the L shaped pergola, which highlights the entrance to the office. Linear, multi-coloured windows in wood planks, open out the office façade to the paved, landscaped entrance court with existing and added plants and a couple of green benches.
